Acts 13

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

There is more being shared than one verse... a little more to show that.

friends read the Scriptures a grace in 60 seconds in a video is really not gonna cut it.

Amen...that is the gospel message in Christ. In Him we have redemption the forgiveness of sins.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself - not counting their sins against them. God has given us this ministry of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (NASB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,

[SUP]19 [/SUP] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
[SUP]20 [/SUP] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

[SUP]21 [/SUP] He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Peter said the very same thing in Acts 10 when he preached the gospel as Paul preached to the Jews when they met in their synagogue - only this time - to the Gentiles.

Acts 10:43-44 (NASB)
[SUP]43 [/SUP] "Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

[SUP]44 [/SUP] While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.

This word "fell upon" is the exact same Greek word that Jesus used when describing the Father "falling on the neck" of the son - kissing him relentlessly.

I love how the Holy Spirit "fell upon" those that listened and believed the true gospel message of Christ. All of heaven responds to the message of Christ.

Agreed - the scope of God's Grace is vast \o/! It takes a lifetime "to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge."

But that sixty seconds is truth and declares the simplicity of the forgiveness of sins that God provides in Christ and who we are in Him.

This is not a discussion, just a point.

All sins are forgiven, past, present and future in Christ.
And not just confessed sins, but unknown ones as well.

Hey guys you can do what you like and do not have to sort anything out, it is all
washed away, yaheeeeeee.

I mean that is all there is to it?

This is easy believism at its best, the meaning is reduced to a few words, without reference
or understanding or even explanation.

You may as well sell the token if you pay for means you are in heaven forever, no returns.
Oh no, paying for something means you earnt it, so no paying, no doing anything, just
listening. Everyone who hears is forgiven. So loop the program round the world and
all are sinless forgiven, walking in Christs righteousness so heaven can not start.

Hey guys lets force everyone to watch the video and heaven can begin!!!!

No, got a problem, that is not what they meant. But that is all they said.

Now the real point about it all is Jesus and meeting Him and learning His way and words.
He forgave the sins of many of the people He met and always advised them to not sin
any more. Odd that if His message is sin is just removed.
 
Forgiveness is a done deal - either believe it or don't believe it. It is " the gospel message".

On the subject of forgiveness that we have in Christ now because of His precious Blood...here is what the scriptures say.....sometimes the truth in the gospel of the grace of Christ "conflicts" with what we have been religiously taught.

1 John 2:12 (NASB)
[SUP]12 [/SUP] I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.

have been forgiven = perfect passive

perfect =
The perfect tense in Greek is used to describe a completed past action which produced results which are still in effect all the way up to the present time.
It is continuously happening in the present.

passive = voice = action is happening to you....you are not doing it

Without a doubt this verse says that the sins are forgiven from a past action that remains in a continuous completed state and that was put on them....not something they did.

Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] In whom we have redemption through his blood,the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

We have redemption = present continuous action...so this means we have present continuous forgiveness of our sins
...

and look...that grace stuff shows up again!...
it's all according to the riches of our loving Father's grace that He has given to us in Christ our Lord.

Colossians 1:13-14 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

[SUP]14 [/SUP] in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Same thing here too...present continuous action = forgiveness of sins


Redemption!..we have been bought with the precious Blood of Jesus... Let's honor His work.



Brethren ...we have a great salvation in our Lord!

Walk in the knowledge of your forgiveness in Christ and in that security we will experience maturity.
 
Paul Ellis is a hypergrace preacher and openly admits it. He writes books defending hypergrace.

Merely stating the facts.

Check the address on the pic.
 
Ephesians 1:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP] In whom we have redemption through his blood,the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

We have redemption = present continuous action...so this means we have present continuous forgiveness of our sins
...

and look...that grace stuff shows up again!...
it's all according to the riches of our loving Father's grace that He has given to us in Christ our Lord.



Romans 5:17 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP] For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:20 (NASB)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

Many names have been given to describe the "riches of God's grace" to us in Christ....like "amazing, unfathomable, riches" and some have used the derogatory term "hyper" - of which some just used the lemons that were thrown and made lemonade out of it.

Make no mistake about it - God's grace in the finished work of Christ is scandalous to the religious mindset. Always has been and always will be until we stand before our Lord and for the ages to come - our Father will manifest His kindness in His grace towards us.

you mean fabricated lies like we are saved by our goodness and good works?? you mean like having a beer condems someone to hell?? you mean like " proving salvation by works, which points back to my first point?/

these, mr Stephen, are denominational doctrines, not Biblical truths...
